Erm, I used to keep goldfish, and yeah, I'm 'sorry' to say, they do hide behind rocks and peep out, they like to rest sometimes just like any other fish . I believe cats have a relatively short attention span. When they find they can't get to the fish, they tend to just give up, hence why they ignore them after a while, because they know there's no point in trying anyway.

to goldfish125girl;
I'm really shocked and sad!! I don't think that I said smth rude. they were just my opinions and suggestions. if I can't say what am I thinking, why are we here. you should ignore mines with a polite way. perhaps the word "hate" was a bit hard. I'm changing it with "I'm not interested in goldfish".Let's end that little arguement here, please.

I see a goldfish dialog here. All rubbish...
Goldfish is a terrible fish to keep. Only newcomers can keep it because this "thing" is very strong -I mean never dies- and has no "sense" as their keepers.
Actually goldfish keepers has no tolerance of toughts of other people.
Now its the time to shut that 125girls' mouth.
And if you don't know anything about chat, discuss and sharing don't try to do.

Goldfish 125girl, ignore this guy , he's obviously just looking for a 'laugh' . You've picked the wrong place for an arguement. Since your trying to make this into something big from absolutely nothing, prepare to hear from the moderators Onurozdi.

Don't worry I am reporting them to the mods. A growing borad can be hurt by people who feel the need to act childish about other types of fish._________________21 goldfish: 3 orandas, 3 pearlscales, 4 telescopes, 1 lionhead, 1 ranchu, 5 ryukin, and 1 pom. Been keeping and breeding goldfish 16 years.

The topic has been split exactly at the point where it shifted from focusing on the fish to focusing on the person. My reading is that all members involved here contributed to this so everybody just take a chill pill and move on..._________________Are you a Fish-HAVER or a Fish-KEEPER?
